AS Monaco offers range of perks to Premium supporters

AS Monaco is offering its Premium subscribers a number of new benefits. As part of the Premium package, which costs 195 euros for the year, supporters will receive a small gift from the club, ten in total, between August and May.

As an added incentive, Premium supporters will be given a scarf as a gift for UEFA Champions League matches.

The Premium option will include priority and preferential rates for UEFA Champions League, cup and league matches. Perhaps the biggest perk of all will be that Premium supporters will be able to attend training sessions and the annual gala evening.

It was always going to be an important game, but just 24 hours after the attack on the Dortmund team bus on Tuesday night, there was heightened interest in Monaco’s away game in the first leg of the Champions’ League quarterfinal on Wednesday.
Monaco totally dominated the first half, with an opening goal from Mbappe in the 19th minute and a second, handball own goal, from Bender in the 35th. Commentators agreed that the slow start by the home team was owed much to the previous night’s attack, with morale seriously hit.
Dortmund’s Dembele failed with a free kick in the second minute of the second half, but Dortmund were showing more spirit that paid off handsomely in the 57th minute with a great team goal from Dembele taking the score to 1-2.
The home side kept up the pressure in the second period with most of the action in the Monaco half and Dortmund clearly dominating both possession and attempts. But suddenly 18-year-old Mbappe took advantage of a serious gap in the Dortmund defence in the 78th minute to ram home his second goal of the game. Two minutes later Fabinho was given a yellow card.
Dortmund stayed in the game with a successful shot from Kagawa in the 83rd minute, to bring the scoreline to 2-3. Germain was brought on to replace a tired Falcao, but again most of the action was close to the Monaco goal.
The second leg will be played on Wednesday, April 19, at State Louis II. Will it be another goalfest? Monaco are the favourites, but Dortmund should not be written off.

Radamel Falcao will be out several weeks with a thigh injury after being hurt in Monaco’s Champions League qualifying tie against Fenerbahçe in which he scored two of three goals for Monaco.
This latest setback will mean that the expensive striker will miss the Champions League playoff round held with Villarreal, due to take place on August 17 and Aug 23, with the winners going onto the Champions League group phase, espn.com reports.
The Colombian striker, back in Monaco colours after frustrating loan spells with Manchester United and Chelsea, created Monaco’s opening goal and scored their second in a 3-1 win on Tuesday night, helping them through to the play-off round.
But he was forced off at half-time with a muscle injury and on Friday AS Monaco confirmed that the 30-year-old is set for another spell out.
“Radamel Falcao suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh in the last match which will require treatment, rest and rehabilitation over several weeks,’’ the club said on their website.
Monaco paid a club record €60 million to sign Falcao in 2013, but his first season was decimated by a knee ligament injury.
He spent each of the next two seasons on loan in the Premier League, but struggled to make a mark with United and Chelsea as he looked a shadow of his former self.
His preseason form with Monaco this summer had been encouraging prior to this latest setback.
